The pair have clearly been inseparable ever since, and are isolating together during lockdown.

Things took a turn at the beginning of the month when the ITV2 star made their relationship public knowledge, sharing their first photo on social media.

And the ITV2 star praised the businesswoman – who counts Kylie Jenner among her customers – for coping with the attention so well.

‘She deals with it really well. She’s cool with it,’ he said. ‘She’s got her own business going on so she’s in her own field.

‘She is so successful in her own right. She’s the founder of NuNude, a worldwide-known brand that is all about everyone being accepted in the world.

‘She’s gone viral. She’s had Kylie Jenner wear her clothing, she’s been in Forbes magazine. She works really hard herself.’

And it’s clear to see Jack is absolutely smitten with Joanne.

Raving about her, he added: ‘Joanne is very independent, she’s in the press for her own thing. She does not want press. She understands it’ll happen but she doesn’t go out of her way to try and get press off the back of me.

‘She genuinely did not watch Love Island. She knows of Love Island, and she knew who I was because of social media, but she had no idea why I was called OluwaJack or Black Jack…

PIERS Morgan has jokingly accused Jack Whitehall of being "full of s***" after he posted a video where he used the Good Morning Britain's star's book for loo roll.

The 55-year-old presenter, who interviewed the comedian on the show this morning, made the cheeky dig on Twitter.

Jack's video showed him sitting on the toilet realising with horror that he'd run out of paper, with the picture turning black and white and "hello darkness, my old friend" striking up.

The camera zoomed in on his face as Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound Of Silence played.

However, he was then shown being handed a copy of Piers' bestseller Don't You Know Who I Am? with the colour returning to the picture and Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream blasting out.

Jack, 31, then flicked through the book like he was about to read it, before enthusiastically tearing out pages and pretending to wipe his bottom with them.

Jack wrote: "Had a lovely chat with dear old @piersmorgan this morning on GMB. It was all quite serious, so I didn’t get the chance to tell him how his book has literally got me through this lockdown. 🙏

"Honestly thank him so much, absolute life saver. ‘Absorbing’ would be my review."

Taking it in good humour, Piers wrote: "You’ve always been full of s**t @jackwhitehall – happy to help."

Jack was on Good Morning Britain today alongside pal Evgeny Lebedev to discuss their Food For London Now appeal that helps people stuck indoors get the food they need.

PREMIER League ace Jack Grealish crashed his car following a 4am party – hours after urging fans stay indoors for the virus lockdown.

The Aston Villa hypocrite, 24, apparently smashed the £80,000 Range Rover into three parked cars near Solihull, West Midlands.

Grealish appeared unsteady and confused moments after the alleged crash.

The Aston Villa captain was seen arguing with onlookers at 8am on Sunday — amid claims he had partied all night at a pal’s flat despite the virus lockdown.

Hours earlier, he posted a video urging fans to stay safe at home.

Residents’ photos show the midfielder standing next to his damaged vehicle in a hoodie, shorts and one black slipper and a white slip-on sandal.

The 4×4 was said to have reversed from a designated parking bay, across a road and gone into a parked silver van, leaving it with a dented bumper and smashed rear lights.

Witnesses said the Range Rover then drove 200 yards, veering on to the pavement and careering into vehicles including a £30,000 silver C-Class Mercedes, and a £20,000 blue Merc.

Grealish’s vehicle also collided with iron railings in front of an estate agency.

It was left parked on double yellows in front of flats, with damage to the rear and debris scattered nearby.

Grealish was alleged to have boasted to motorists that he would pay for the damage.

He was said to have left details with a resident then walked off before police arrived in Dickens Heath, near Solihull.

A neighbour said: “The party had been going on all night. It was unbearable. The noise had only stopped a short while when, just after 8am, there were a series of almighty collisions which reverberated through the flats.

“Outside, Jack Grealish was stood next to his car rowing with a security guard. It was strange to see an England ace looking so unkempt and dishevelled. He looked unsteady and confused.

“There was an almighty row because Jack didn’t want to wait around but people wanted answers from him.”

Grealish was said to have been at the flat of ex-Scottish striker Ross McCormack, 33, who left Villa last year.

They were apparently joined by Tony Capaldi, 38, a former Northern Ireland international who played for Leeds.

Residents said pals of Grealish raced to the scene in an Alfa Romeo after he vanished and attempted to drive away the Range Rover. CCTV in the street was said to have captured the events.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: “Jack was eager to leave and did so.

“He was shrugging his shoulders and arrogantly telling angry motorists whose cars had been damaged that he’d pay for it all, as if it was no big deal.

“But suddenly he wasn’t around to talk to. It all happened very quickly.”

Grealish had recorded a video to say: “To help save lives you must stay at home. And always remember to stay at least two metres apart. This is urgent. Protect the NHS.”

In a separate clip, Grealish revealed to fan Matt Dockray, who has been in hospital with the virus, that he himself had “not been feeling too good”.

He told Matt: “Stay safe, pal.”

A woman in the flats said: “I didn’t believe it was Jack at first because I’d just watched him talking on social media. I’m a Villa fan but this is hypocrisy at its finest.

“Jack told us all to stay indoors then did exactly the opposite by embarking on a session around his mate’s house.

“What he was doing with his car at 8am I have no idea. I think he’s got a lot of difficult questions coming his way.”

West Midlands Police confirmed two vehicles were hit but residents say it was more.

The force said: “We were called just before 10am to reports that a Range Rover had crashed into two parked cars.

“The driver left his details with a member of the public before leaving on foot and will be spoken to by police in due course.

Minor damage was caused to the parked vehicles. Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch.”

Grealish has played seven times for England under-21s and is tipped to be in Gareth Southgate’s next senior squad.

In 2015, he was caught on video inhaling nitrous oxide. He was once seen passed out in the street in Tenerife.

Villa officials were frantically trying to contact him last night.

A pal said: “Jack has suddenly become very elusive to track down. Everyone is trying to get hold of him.”

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish says he is “deeply embarrassed” after he was pictured at the scene of a car accident on Sunday.

Various newspapers reported Grealish’s car had hit a number of parked vehicles in Solihull.

The alleged incident came hours after Grealish, 24, had posted on social media asking fans to “stay home” during the country’s coronavirus lockdown.

He has been fined and disciplined by the club with the proceeds donated to The University Hospitals Charity in Birmingham.

In a video message Grealish said: “I got a call off a friend asking to go round and I stupidly agreed.

“I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake I did.

“I know it’s a tough time for everyone at the moment being locked indoors for so long,” he added.

“But I urge everyone to stay indoors and follow the guidelines and I know I’ll be doing that in the near future now.”

Grealish then added that he “hopes everyone can accept my apology” and that everyone can “move on” and be out “enjoying themselves once this has all boiled over”.

West Midlands Police said they were called just before 10am on Sunday to the Dickens Heath area of Solihull to reports that a Range Rover had crashed into two parked cars in the street, causing them minor damage.

The force said the driver had left his details with a member of the public before leaving on foot and would be spoken to by police in due course.

Images surfaced online on Sunday of a damaged white Range Rover, as well as a picture that appeared to show the Villa midfielder in slippers and a bright blue hoodie.

Villa said in a statement: “Aston Villa is deeply disappointed that one of our players ignored the Government’s guidance on staying at home during the coronavirus crisis.

“Club captain Jack Grealish has accepted that his decision to leave his house was wrong and entirely unnecessary.”

A key player for Villa, who is a summer target for Manchester United, the midfielder has seven goals and six assists for Villa in 26 Premier League games so far this season.

Images emerged on social media on Sunday of a white Range Rover, as well as a separate picture of a man resembling Grealish apparently in conversation with another person. The person in question is wearing odd footwear – with one slipper and one slider. It is not clear when the pictures were taken.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the £70,000 vehicle crashed into two stationary cars, adding that they would like to speak to the driver.

The white Range Rover was pictured damaged after reports of a crash with parked cars

An image of a man resembling Jack Grealish, wearing slippers, circulated on social media, claiming he was nearby the incident

‘We were called to Waterside, Dickens Heath, just before 10am to reports that a Range Rover had crashed into two parked cars in the street,’ the statement read.

‘The driver left his details with a member of the public at the scene before leaving on foot, and will be spoken to by police in due course.

‘Minor damage was caused to the parked vehicles. Officers are investigating the circumstances and anyone with information has been asked to get in touch.’

Grealish is the club captain of Aston Villa and has been with his boyhood club since 2001

Current government advice during the coronavirus crisis states that citizens should leave their homes only to shop for basic necessities, to exercise once a day, for any medical need, or travelling to work if they cannot work from home.

On Saturday, Grealish appeared to echo that advice as he posted a video for his Twitter followers pleading with them to stay at home.

‘To help save lives, you must stay at home,’ he said.

‘Only leave your house to buy food, buy medicine or for exercise and always remember to stay at least two metres apart. This is urgent. Protect the NHS. Stay home. Save lives.’

The 24-year-old has established himself as a key man for Villa and is currently club captain

As with the rest of the Premier League, Villa’s players are currently following fitness programmes at home, with their Bodymoor Heath training ground closed.

Grealish, who earns around £45,000 a week at Villa Park, joined his boyhood club at the age of six and has worked his way up the ranks to become a key player for the Midlands outfit.

He has heavily been linked with a move away from the club in recent season due to his impressive performances in midfield – coming close to joining Tottenham last season, although the move failed to come to fruition.

Since making his breakthrough in the 2013-14 season, he has gone on to play 176 times, scoring 24 goals and providing 22 assists.

He featured in two cup finals for Villa, starting in both the FA Cup final in 2014-15 and the Carabao Cup final this season.
